The Elbe is a classic Ocean Going Tug built in 1959 for the salvage company Smit. She was released in the Shipyard in Autumn 2008. In the past she has been owned by Smit Tugs, and had a brief spell with Greenpeace in the late 1990s. Currently she is being restored to original condition in Maassluis, near Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Elbe Restoration[]
The Elbe is making steady progress in Maassluis and is near completion, with engines finishing restoration in 2008.
